Toshiba Corporation's Semiconductor & Storage Products Company today announced that it has started commercial production of gT4K82h, a 13-megapixel BSI[1] CMOS image sensor that allows smartphones and tablets to record full HD video at 240 equivalent frames per second (fps), the industryfs highest[2] frame rate. Commercial shipments start today.

High speed video recording generally results in underexposed images with short exposure time, making it difficult to increase the frame rate. gT4K82h incorporates the gBright Modeh technology that boosts imaged brightness up to four times. gBright Modeh realizes full HD video capture at 240 fps equivalent and QVGA video capture at 900 fps equivalent.
gT4K82h is capable of capturing high-quality, high-speed video even in the low-light conditions, and offers extended imaging functions on smartphones and tablets including smooth slow motion playback.
